To all whom t may concern.'

Be itVV known that I, DUGALD S. PA'rnRsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Sheet-Packing, ofwhichthe following is a specification.

My invention consists of sheet packing composed-of a body of metal and fibrous material thereon, it being adapted to be cut into shapes as gaskets land for other purposes;

'llhel invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention -is not limited to the specic details shown'and describe Figure 1 represents a face view, of a sheet packing partly broken away embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal Fig. 1, onan enlarged scale. Fig. 3 represents a face view similar to Fig.l 1 Vof .another embodiment of the invention. Fig. 4 represents a perspective view ofanother embodiment of the invention.

Similar numerals of reference indicate l corresponding'parts-in the figures.

.3. A sheet packing comprising a bent metal sheet having pockets in its opposite faces, and fibrous material in said pockets, substantially vas described.

4. A. sheet packing comprising a bent metal sheet having ber containing pockets and the walls of said pockets bent at an angle to the surfaces of the packing of the sheet, substantially as described.

5. A sheet packing comprising a bent sheet of metal having pockets formed in its opposite faces, fibrous material in said feo pockets, and the walls -of said pockets bent l at an angle to the surface'of the packing, substantially as described.
